So anyone finding it in stock? Went to the local & they had several boxes of CCI in stock.. game point 40gr - 30gr & CCI TNT. They only had a few boxes of Win 40gr JHP & it was much higher than the CCI (17.00). Thought about buying most of the CCI! But ended up only getting 2 boxes.. 12.99 a box is reasonable I guess considering! How's the ammo situation it in your neck of the woods?

I have stocked up, but locally it is spotty. Some places are out and the places that still have some, the supply is getting low! I might have to pick up one more brick before they run out totally. I don't anticipate supplies getting better for at least a year. :mad:

Hasn't been any in my area for at least 2 months or longer. Luckily I have enough on hand for a while, I hope. The only rimfire rounds of any caliber at any of the local shops or big box stores is 5 plastic boxes of Hornady 17HMR at a Bass Pro. :(

Up here in the far north (Edmonton, Canada) we feel the shortages about 4 months after the suppliers stateside.
Was at my local shop on the weekend and they said they had about 12 boxes of Hornady V-Max left...haven't received any since end of November.
All 12 boxes are in my safe now.

I haven't bought any since last summer, but I bought enough then to suffer thru any real or perceived shortages for a year or two. Maybe.

I won't be doing any plinking with it, though, it'll be saved for killin' stuff until the supply catches up with demand.

Darn, 33 cents a round for minimags, :eek:only 25 cents more than before. A 300% increase:eek:

I just bought a Savage 93 , cause it came with 800 rounds of wmr ammo. And bought 750 rounds of wmr, at 40 cents @ . Both purchases in a parking lot!

Was at Walmart yesterday. Other than shot shells the only other ammo on the shelf was 4 boxes of CCI 22 WMR FMJ priced at $11.47 and 3 boxes of Winchester at $12.67. Didn't have to think twice and bought 2 boxes of the CCI. The first surprise was seeing it on the shelf and the other surprise was the price is the same as it always was.

Last time i was in a gun store they were picked clean. My indoor range is empty, no appointments necessary, and i dont expect it to get better this time. Vista bought remingtons ammo factoriesand now are almost the sole source for ammo. Decreased supply due to covid and high demand due to social issues has put them in the catbirds seat. Low cost high profits, so why would they change that?

Must be a regional thing.

I've had to wait on a lane at the place I'm a member of (18 lanes, 2 miles from home) multiple times in the past few months. If I want a rifle lane (they only have 2), I usually show up 15min before they open and wait at the door. They've had ammo, just limited to one box with range time to avoid scalpers. They have cases lined up but won't sell them.

Other LGS have ammo as well, but at unreasonable prices.

It's starting to show up at WalMart much more frequently as well. "My Guy" at the closest one to me says almost every day now. No longer getting any 5.56/.223.
